The plantation went on the market in March. The property will most likely appeal to conservationists, hunters and outdoor recreationists.

According to Kohler, original land owner James Oliver Morton stumbled upon the wilderness land. He acquired 4,000 acres on what was then the Oglethorpe Trail, near what is now known as Quitman, Georgia, and became a pioneer land owner in Southern Georgia. Morton is one of the Quitman's founders and served as president of the Bank of Quitman for a number of years.
